This game...isnt some mindless game that will turn your brain into mush, hey play this before a test cause youll be thinking alot harder. This game...isnt some mindless game that will turn your brain into mush, hey play this before a test cause youll be thinking alot harder. Everything is blanaced very well and knowing where to put what units when and why and what units they need to cover them is essential. Example, i wanted to invaded an enemy occupied island so i had to make 2 battleships and 2 cruiser and 1 black boat, 2 landers with 1 infantry 2 mech and 1 tank and 2 b copters. I used the battle ships to take out the artillery battery on the small isnad and the cruisers where flanking the batle ships in spots to intercept enemy bombers the coptes went in and atatck infanrty just before my troops landed. the battle went on with a few reinforcements but my battleships putting heavy fire anywhere on the island made me win it.…Expand

My recommendation for this series: Buy the first. Take time to enjoy and beat it. Buy the second one. Marvel at Black Hole and my favorite My recommendation for this series: Buy the first. Take time to enjoy and beat it. Buy the second one. Marvel at Black Hole and my favorite tank. Then buy this, remember where the other two are just long enough to get the extra stuff from having them, then curl up in a ball in your room and never stop playing this game. This game has infinite replay value, and is easy enough to understand. Don't be ashamed to search for the guide, though: some parts can get fairly hard. I'd say if you need it anytime before Crystal Calamity, you haven't practiced with the other games enough, or this isn't the series for you. For all the naysayers: Since when are graphics the final determining factor in a game? People realize Alien Hominid (from NewGrounds!) is a great game, or else it wouldn't have made it to consoles! That and The Wind Waker. Graphics were cel-shaded, for cripes' sake, but the gameplay more than made up for it! Well, in conclusion... Wait, you're still reading? Go back to the top of this post, and follow my instructions, soldier! Move out!…Expand
